Review the following notes before performing the Hardware Management Pack installation.
The installer aborts when the DISPLAY variable is set on a server running Oracle Solaris OS or Linux operating system. To avoid this issue, unset the DISPLAY variable before installing Hardware Management Pack.
When launching the Oracle Hardware Management Pack Installer on a Oracle Solaris OS system, the following error might appear:
./install.bin: !: not found
You can ignore this error and the Installer should launch normally.
Before installing Oracle Hardware Management Pack on a server running Oracle Solaris OS installed with the SUNWCreq (Core System Support) metacluster, you must install SUNWxcu4 (contains POSIX df command) or set the following environment variable:
IATEMPDIR=$HOME
For a Sun Fire X4170 M2 system running Windows Server 2008 R2, install the drivers from the X4170 M2 Tools and Drivers CD before using the RAIDconfig tool. Failure to install the drivers might result in the slot information for the HDDs attached to the internal ICH10 controller to be reported incorrectly.
You can also use the Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant to install Windows Server 2008 R2 to avoid this problem.
On servers running Oracle Solaris OS 10 where SUNWipmi is already installed, the Hardware Management Pack cannot be successfully installed. The only workaround is to stop the current install using control-c, remove the installed version of SUNWipmi, and then restart the Hardware Management Pack installation.
When using the GUI mode Oracle Hardware Management Pack installer on Oracle Linux 6, the graphical installer can not be started. This is because the libXtst.i686 package is not installed by default. Either install this package before using the GUI mode, or use the console mode.
If you choose to install the QLogic support on Linux using the Oracle Hardware Management Pack installer, the process can take a long time. To make this process more efficient, install the QLogic package manually.
During the install process, the summary screen might show
Disk Space Information (for Installation Target): Required: 169,082,111 bytes Available: Error!
This can be safely ignored.
When using the Solaris Automated Installer (introduced with Solaris 11) to deploy software on a server, the server's Host-to-ILOM interconnect feature (required for many Oracle Hardware Management Pack features) might be left in a disabled state after the Automated Installer performs a reboot during installation. If this happens, a second server reboot after the installation has completed should fix the problem.
To determine if your server was setup by the Automated Installer, enter the following command:
# netadm list | grep ncp ncp Automatic online <-- Automated Installer was used ncp DefaultFixed disabled
